Well, if it's anything like the last one... 3 points. Manning threw 4 TDs. He is sometimes so iffy, I figured he would fold but he played the best game I have ever seen him play.

I think it will come down to the old saying, defense wins games, especially offensive defense. If the Giants defense can pressure Brady when he's on the field and if their offense can keep him off the field, they have more than a good chance to win. Their secondary sucks (kinda) but their line leads the league in sacks. If Jacobs can average 4 yards per carry and Strahan can close the gaps, to mention two examples, the Pats may have a problem. (Yes, I said it... if Strahan can close the gaps.)

Of course, the Pats do everything well. Especially the unsung heroes. A shining example is Evans. Not only can he carry, his lead blocking was amazing this season. I'd rather have Dick Butkus pissed at me than have to clear Evans off.

Hehehe. I wonder if Adam Vinteri likes all that money now? I'll bet Bill likes his bottom line... and not just the $$$. That kid can KICK!
